Should taxpayers provide insurance?

A Cyber Insurance Backstop
In the first week of January, the pharmaceutical giant Merck quietly settled its years-long lawsuit over whether or not its property and casualty insurers would cover a $700 million claim filed after the devastating NotPetya cyberattack in 2017. The malware ultimately infected more than 40,000 of Merck’s computers, which significantly disrupted the company’s drug and vaccine production. After Merck filed its $700 million claim, the pharmaceutical giant’s insurers argued that they were not required to cover the malware’s damage because the cyberattack was widely attributed to the Russian government and therefore was excluded from standard property and casualty insurance coverage as a “hostile or warlike act.”
At the heart of the lawsuit was a crucial question: Who should pay for massive, state-sponsored cyberattacks that cause billions of dollars’ worth of damage?
Gosh, what a surprise!

Idaho House passes bill criminalizing sexually explicit AI images of real people
The Idaho House of Representatives voted unanimously Tuesday to pass a bill that would make it a crime to share sexually explicit images of real people that were generated by artificial intelligence.
House Bill 575 is a bipartisan bill sponsored by Reps. Julianne Young, R-Blackfoot, and John Gannon, D-Boise. Under the bill, it would become a crime to disclose sexually explicit AI images or media “with the intent to annoy, terrify, threaten, intimidate, harass, offend, humiliate, or degrade an identifiable person portrayed in whole or in part …”
It would also become a crime to threaten to disclose sexually explicit AI generated media for the purpose of obtaining money or something else of value.
